Description
This release is for rolling out the SNAKE8 hard fork to the Spicy testnet. The fork is set to be activated on Tuesday, 11.30 AM CET.
SNAKE8 is an update to the Validator block selection logic. Right now each validator takes it in turns to mine the next block, round-robin style. As of the date of the hardfork, this will change so that the selection of the next validator is based on an algorithm which takes into account the amount of CHZ staked on the validator. The higher the stake, the higher the probability to mine the next block.
We have safeguarding parameters which allow us to safeguard from the same validator mining too many blocks in a row and to guarantee that each validator is able to mine an amount of blocks per day, even if they are on the lower end of the spectrum.
